Hey guys! Tenshi here! So here's another story that does not involve crossovers what-so-ever, but involves my OCs if they were a part of the adventure that the Transformers Prime series, but unlike the other stories that have full chapters, this is going to be divided into arcs. This one will be simply as the first few episodes were called, the Darkness Rising Arc. Anyway with that being said, please enjoy, if you don't like stories like these than you don't have to read it but if you do take the time to read this than let me know what you think for what I've got planned.
I don't own any of the characters of Transformers Prime and or story, all I own are my OCs, please enjoy. :)
-Somewhere in the Desert-
A red car drove through the empty road of the desert continent. He appeared to be talking to someone via radio channel of some kind.
"So there I was, on patrol like always, when out of nowhere, these high beams light up my rear view." A voice had said, which appeared to be coming from the car itself, "And then it hits me! I'm illegally parked!"
A voice on the other side said, "Another parking ticket?"
"Better. The boot."
"Big tire metal clamp, impossible to remove?"
"Bingo! So the local police do their thing, and I let them get all the way down the block, and I kick up my shiny new shoes and bang!"
A second voice came over the com, "Sounds like another typical day in New York for it's citizens. And I should know."
"Hey, Arcee, Gust, you guys know me." The Red Car said, "Mess with Cliffjumper…"
"And you get the horns." The ones both named Arcee and Gust said.
The other named Gust said to the red car named Cliffjumper, "And here I thought rule number for you guys was to keep a low profile. I wouldn't call doing what you did to the local police subtle."
"What can I say Bright Eyes?" Cliffjumper said, "Patrolling for energon out here will get boring and lonesome after awhile. Almost makes me miss the Decepticons."
Gust let out a chuckle, "You? Almost missing the Cons? I think that's a first from you."
"It's not like Jasper Nevada is a party." Arcee said, "We're all alone wherever we go."
"Hey, what am I supposed to be chop liver?" Gust asked the two of them, "You guys still have me don't you?"
"Of course Bright Eyes." Cliffjumper said. Just than something began to beep on his computer in the car.
"I'm picking up a signal." Cliffjumper said, "Near on my position."
"You need back-up?" Arcee asked.
"Do I never need back up?" Cliffjumper asked before driving towards the signal.
"I'm about six minutes away from where you are." Gust said, "I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Go ahead, but by the time you get here you'll be getting leftovers." Cliffjumper said. With that Cliffjumper speed up to the coordinates of where he had picked up a signal. He had gotten their only to a mine that appeared to have harbored crystals.
Cliffjumper stopped at the edge of the cliff.
"Woah." Cliffjumper said aloud, "Now that's what I call an energon mine."
A shadow suddenly clouded over the area; Cliffjumper saw a giant ship fly over head.
"Decepticons."
He transformed from his robot mode to his vehicle mode.
The guns from under the ship aimed right at Cliffjumper. It began to fire catching Cliffjumper by surprise; he fell into the mine from where he stood. A hatch from under the ship opened, and several decepticons dropped right into the mine, surrounding Cliffjumper.
Cliffjumper glared at them, "Arcee, Gust, about that backup."
"Just hold on Cliff!" Gust said over the comm, "I'm nearly there!"
Cliffjumper turned back to his attackers. "Fair warning boys." He said to them, "I'll put a few dings in you." He said. He transformed in vehicle mode and drove straight towards the Decepticon. He leaped in the air and landed fist first on the group of the Decepticons.
-Meanwhile-
"Arcee to Optimus. The Cons' are back." Arcee said via com-link, "Cliff might be neck-deep in scrap, and Gust is already heading to his location."
"Understood." A truck named Optimus said, "Ratchet, do you have Cliffjumpers coordinates?"
An ambulance drove through a place that was filled with snow. "I'm locked on to his signal Optimus, but our team is scattered across time zones." The ambulance named Ratchet, stopped and took a U-turn, heading back the way he came.
Optimus had said to the rest of the team, "Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee. Rendezvous back at base and prepare to Ground Bridge."
-Back With Cliffjumper-
A Decepticon fell off the cliff courtesy of Cliffjumper.
Cliffjumper punched and kicked at his enemies, but the Decepticons had gotten the upper hand. One of the Decepticons threw an uppercut, causing Cliffjumpers left horn to go flying off, and he flew off the cliff again. He flipped and had gotten back on his feet. The Decepticons slid down after him.
"You want the horns?" Cliffjumper said to the Con's as he armed himself, "You got em!" He started to fire at the Con's and managed to hit a few of them. They started to fire back. He dodged the shots, but one of them had hit the blue crystals that were of Energon. The mine had blown sky high.
Two of the Con's that were outside of the mines, managed to find Cliffjumper, and they dragged him out of the now destroyed mines.
A seeker inside the large ship had watched the who thing, his eyes glowed red as he watched smoke fly up into the sky.
"The energon." He said aloud, "It's worthless to me now."
The two Con's entered the bridge along with a damaged Cliffjumper in their hands. They bought him over to the seeker and he turned to look at him.
"Starscream." Cliffjumper greeted, "It's been awhile." He coughed out some energon, "So… Where's your Master?"
"Nevermind him!" The seeker named Starscream said with a bit of anger at the mention of his Master, "I am my own Master."
Cliffjumpers optics dilated, when felt something sharp pierce his chest. It turned out it was Starscream's talons.
"Anymore questions?" He asked Cliffjumper rhetorically.
Slowly and painfully Starscream pulled his talons out of his chest. Cliffjumper dropped dead right in front of him. Starscream turned to two Vehicons, "Clean that up."
-Outside-
A teenage sixteen year old girl wearing a black helmet rode on a red and black motorcycle towards where she heard the explosion. The girl wore a green hoodie and under it was a black shirt, with a pair of brown short pants with a grey belt. With the outfit she had on; on one hand she had a fingerless glove and the other was a fully clothed glove. She wore a pair of brown survival boots and sports bandages around her knee.
On her back there was an orange and red book bag that stayed on her back with a single strap
She threw off her helmet revealing her blue hair that was asymmetrical and tied in a ponytail and the odd eye of golden yellow and grey. She ran straight for the mines.
"CLIFF!" She shouted, "CLIFF, I'M HERE! WHERE ARE YOU!?"
She had gotten closer to the edge where the mines were. When she looked over she saw that their was no sign of him.
"CLIFF! CLIFF!" She yelled, "FRAG IT ALL CLIFF, ANSWER ME!"
She soon heard the ground bridge open just in the mines. Five familiar faces, the size of titans to her, jumped out of the ground bridge armed in all. They were of course, Optimus, Arcee, Ratchet, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee; When she saw them she ran over to them.
"Gust!" Arcee said when she saw her.
When Gust got close she caught her breath, "I can't find Cliff anywhere. I don't know where he is."
Optimus took note of the young teens distress and looked at the area that had surrounded them.
"An untapped energon deposit." Optimus said to the team.
"What's left of it." Bulkhead said.
Ratchet had stated, "This is the first Decepticon Activity in three years.
"That we know of." Optimus added, "If there scouting for Energon. They may be preparing for his return"
Gust couldn't help but shudder. They proceeded to enter the mine; the one called Bumblebee lowered his hand so that Gust could climb up. When she did, he brought her up on his shoulder, where she took a seat.
Arcee, and Bumblebee jumped into the mines to get a better look, the others soon followed. When Arcee first got down there she let out a gasp as her optics widened in horror. There she found Cliffjumpers horn on the ground; she picked it up and stared in disbelief. "No…" Arcee said. Arcee showed the horn to the others. Gust placed her hand over her mouth as her eyes widened, "Oh God…" She said, "Please no."
"Ratchet, can you track his position?" Optimus said.
Ratchet immediately went to track Cliffjumpers signal, only to see it go offline.
"No." Ratchet said.
"What Ratchet?" Gust asked, "What is it?"
Ratchet said to the team, "Cliffjumper's life signal just went offline."
Everyone was in shock at this; Gust especially.
"No… Cliff…"Gust said.
Bumblebee held his finger over to Gust and she did not hesitate to hug it.
-Later that Day-
Optimus and the others had set up a grave for their fallen comrade. They thought it would be appropriate to set up the grave on top of their base. Gust sat on Bumblebee's shoulder, playing it a couple of dog tags that hung around her neck, as she couldn't help but mourn the loss of their beloved comrade.
She couldn't help but sigh.
"Again…" Gust said to herself, "Another casualty of war."
She listened to Optimus's speech as she continued to play with the dog tags that was around her neck.
"We must not allow our anger over the loss of Cliffjumper to impair our judgement." Optimus said, "As of today, only we five Autobots remain on this Earth. We owe to ourselves, to the memory of Cybertron. To any Autobots in any the galaxy seeking a safe harbor, to humankind… And we owe it to the memory of our fallen comrade, to survive."
Arcee stepped forward and placed the horn that was found earlier at the energon mines beside the grave. Gust couldn't help but clench her fist, still a bit upset at the fact that one of their comrades is really gone.
Optimus looked to Arcee with concern, "Arcee?"
"If Cliff's gone standing around standing around here sulking around won't bring him back." Arcee said, "So unless anyone minds I think I'll get back to protecting mankind."
Right when Arcee transformed to her vehicle mode, Gust jumped from Bumblebee's shoulder.
"Room for one more?" Gust asked to which Arcee allowed her to climb aboard. Thus they both drove off.
-K.O Burgers; Jasper-
Arcee had parked just by the fast food restaurant in the little town known as Jasper. Gust leaned against the wall trying to gather her thoughts on what had happened today. "You seem awfully calm." Arcee said, "I figured you would be more affected by our loss today."
"Trust me Arcee, I am." Gust said looking at her dogtags, "More than you know. But I guess as cruel as it sounds, I've grown used to it, considering all I've lost in the past before I met you guys. You get used to it after you fought in many battles, at least that's what my dad always said."
"When you put it like that I guess there is truth to some extent." Arcee said.
Gust sighed and placed the dog tags back in her shirt. "I'm really sorry about Cliffjumper though. I know how much he meant to you as a partner. If only I had gotten there in time-"
"Hey, don't pin this on yourself. Besides, I don't blame you for what happened."
"I figured, even so, I still can't help but feel responsible."
"Even if you did get there before Cliffjumper had gotten caught, there was nothing you could've done to prevent it."
Gust didn't say anything to that, all she did was let out a sigh. She pushed herself from the wall, and stretched her arms. "I don't know about you but I think I could go for a drink." She said, "You mind waiting out here for me?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Arcee said.
Gust scoffed and went ahead and entered to the fast food restaurant and went to get her drink.
For as long as Gust can remember she has been by the Autobots side for sometime. She is one of the only few that knows that they exist and with good reason. Let's just say, she's been different from the rest of mankind. Gust had suffered from loss and overcame obstacles she never thought she would have to face. She honestly didn't know how she survived exactly.
She had found out about the war between Autobots and Decepticons four years ago, when thing had taken a turn for the worst for her, and someone close to her when they found out the truth about themselves. Now here she was, at the age of sixteen, helping the Autobots fight against their enemies and keep them a secret from those around her. She admitted times were tough but she had managed to do what she always did; she survived.
She had gotten her favorite drink which was a small orange soda. She went outside to meet back up with Arcee; only to find a teenage boy trying checking out Arcee.
"Well what do you know? I'm being cheated on." She joked in her head.
"Hey!" She said getting the teens attention, "What do you think you're doing with my bike?"
The teen boy said, "Oh, sorry, I was just looking."
"I don't mind it, but you better have not scratched up her paint." Gust said taking a sip, "She's not exactly cheap ya know?"
"I can tell, where did you get?"
"There was a sale. Got it at a pretty nifty price, still, you can never be too careful. You thinking of getting one yourself?"
"Yeah, although with the job I currently have right now it's going to take some time."
Gust went over and leaned on Arcee; not that she minded anyway. "You mean to say you work here in this fast food place? Funny, I didn't see you in there when I went to order my soda." She said as she took another sip from her drink.
"I just got off." The teen boy replied, "I only work the day shift."
"I see."
Just as the teen boy began to reply to her, Arcee said to Gust through comms so he wouldn't hear them, "Gust, you might wanna wrap things up. There two Cons' nearby."
Gust gave a quizzical look but looked the teen boy's shoulder as he continued talking. She saw two twin cars with a purple paintjob nearby. "Oh scrap." Gust mumbled.
"Huh? Did you say something?" The teen boy asked. Gust was snap back in the conversation. Before she could say anything another voice came into the group.
"That's a pretty cool bike."
Gust turned and saw that it was a teen girl. One had red hair tied back in a ponytail, and wore a purple shirt over a white collared shirt with a blue skirt, and brown shoes. She of course was talking to the teen boy, probably thought that Arcee as the bike belonged to him.
"Oh great." Gust thought in her head, "As if there wasn't enough problems."
"Is it yours?" The girl asked the teen boy.
The boy stammered as he spoke, "Uh, my motorcycle? No. Wait, I mean yes! It's my bike! It's mine! And well uh-"
The boy sighed, seeing as he was going nowhere with the conversation he was having right now. He sighed and decided to start over, "So… How are things with you Sierra? I can take you for a spin sometime?"
"This smooth operator had better wrap things up." Arcee said to Gust via comlink.
"Arcee, get ready to bail." Gust whispered to her, "On my signal."
The girl named Sierra gave a quizzical look and asked, "Wait you know my name?"
"Ye-yeah, we're in homeroom together." He replied, "I'm Jack, Jack Darby." Car lights had suddenly shined right on the three teens; they were coming from the Cons.
"Scrap!" Gust and Arcee said at the same time. The Con's engines started up and they drove straight at them; Sierra was the first to get out of their. Gust jumped on Arcee and grabbed Jack's arm. "GET ON!" She yelled as she dragged him onto the bike catching him by surprise.
"Whoa! Hey! What are you doing!?" The teen boy named Jack exclaimed.
"Arcee get us out of here!" Gust shouted.
"Got it!" Arcee shouted, before she started up her engine, causing Jack to scream. Arcee did a wheelie and drove right between the two Cons. They had entered the streets with the two Con's on their tail.
"Are you driving right now!?" Jack yelled while holding onto to Gust for dear life.
"I'm not! Arcee is!" Gust shouted through the speed.
"Who's Arcee?!"
The Con's caught up with them and attempted to squish them; Luckily Arcee thought fast and quickly turned down the speed so that she could back up as the two Con's collided with one another.
Arcee speed up again and turned the corner losing the two of them for the moment.
"Commander Starscream!" One of them said, "Target has been sighted. Accompanied by a human youth and the one called Gust."
"Destroy the Autobot and human, and capture Gust alive!" Starscream shouted through the coms.
"Yes sir!" The Con's said.
Arcee, entered the alleyway along with Gust and the one named Jack. "Alright here's the part where you get off." Gust said to Jack.
He immediately jumped off, "What is going on?! What is your bike!?" Jack said.
Arcee spoke to him, almost putting him into shock, "Listen here, and listen good. We don't exist, tell anyone about us, and I'll personally hunt you down."
With that Jack ran off with tails between his legs. "Arcee, time to go!" Gust said, when she saw the twin Cons coming towards them.
"Hang on Gust!" Arcee shouted, as she started to drive.
They thought the twin Con's were just going to chase after them, but then Gust saw one of them turn into the alleyway that Jack ran into earlier. "Arcee turned around!" Gust said, "The Con's are going after that kid!"
"Ah scrap!" Arcee said.
Arcee made a hard turn and drove straight towards the Con. She used the Con as a ramp and she leaped over him with ease. She quickly turned in the alleyway, to catch up with Jack; the Con was right on his tail.
"I'M NOT WITH THEM!" Jack shouted to the Con.
Arcee speed up and drove over the Con again and drove next to Jack. "Jump on if you wanna live!" Gust yelled to Jack. Without hesitation Jack jumped onto the backseat of the bike. With that Arcee speed up towards the streets again. As they turned the corner, the Con's armed themselves with guns and began to fire at them. Arcee started to dodge and weave as they fired on their position.
"WHY ARE THOSE GUYS SHOOTING AT US!?" Jack shouted over the gunfire.
"OKAY, LET ME MAKE ONE THING PERFECTLY CLEAR!" Gust yelled, "THERE IS NO US! AND THEY'RE DEFINITELY NO GUYS!"
Arcee had gone through traffic, but the Cons were getting ready to fire again. Just when they were about to fire again, Bumblebee entered the highway and rammed them from behind, causing them to collide with one another.
Gust said to Arcee, "The cavalry's here!"
"Uh, is that a friend of yours?" Jack asked the two of them.
"Family." Was all Arcee had replied.
Bumblebee drove ahead of the Con's and prevented them from going around them by driving right in front of them. One of them had finally gotten fed up and rammed right into Bumblebee into the concrete wall nearby; He spun out of control.
"BEE!" Gust shouted when he saw spin out of control.
"Uh, we got another problem!" Jack said.
Gust looked up ahead and saw that there was construction going on.
"OH SCRAP!" Gust exclaimed.
"HANG ON!" Arcee yelled to the both of them.
Instead of going over the edge where the construction had ended, she quickly turned and jumped straight over the ramp. Jack screamed as they rolled down a hill to a river that was dried up. They landed on the ground and came to a halt.
Little did they know a young boy at the age of twelve with brown hair all spiked up, wearing a pair of jeans, a short sleeved orange sweater with a white collared shirt and a black bookbag, had watched the whole thing.
He was pretty much in shock by what he had just seen.
"Whoa…" Was all the young boy said.
"You have no idea." Jack said. They got off of Arcee just as they did the twin Cons showed up and drove down the hill towards them; they both landed in front of the group while transforming out of their vehicle mode, armed and ready, surprising the two people that were new to this.
Arcee transformed from her vehicle mode. "This ends here Con's!" Arcee said with a glare.
Gust cracked her neck and knuckles, "Let's do this thing!" Gust said. Jack thought that the girl in front of him was crazy. How was she supposed to fight against the people that's the size of giants!?
As him and the other boy whose name was Rafael ran to the side, he almost sweared that her odd colored eyes had suddenly changed to a crimson red color with a blink of an eye. As the two cons started to fire upon Arcee. Gust began to move; She disappeared from Jack and the boys eye of vision, only to reappear again on their attackers with what appeared to be blade attached to her right arm tearing a part of her black clothed glove.
They tried to make a grab for her, but she proved to quick and continued to charge at them head on creating cuts. Arcee had kicked one of them to the ground and charged at the one trying to grab Gust.
"Wha-What are they?" Rafael asked Jack.
"Talking cars that turn into robots." Jack replied; turning to Gust, "Or maybe the other way around."
Arcee started to punch one of the Con's as if it was a punching bag.
"THIS… IS.. FOR… CLIFF!" Arcee shouted as she continued to attack him.
With Gust and the second Con that had gotten up from the floor, she continued to dodge and leave cuts on the Cons body. He had finally had gotten fed up and hit her to the side sending her flying. Luckily Gust had did a backflip and landed on her feet. "Alright, new plan." She said retracting her blade.
She blinked again but this time her eyes changed to a crystal blue color.
She removed her glove revealing what appeared to be a metal claw hand, which had caught Jack and Rafael by surprise. The hand retracted and a gun was suddenly there. She started to fire at the Con making him lose his balance. He started to fire back and Gust was quick on her feet; though she didn't posses her speed as she did before.
Than she heard a scream which was recognized to be Arcee.
"CEE!" Gust yelled, before flying backwards when a shot landed near her feet. She slid on the concrete ground, breaking some skin on her legs. They soon heard tires screech from above; Jack and Rafeal looked up and saw a yellow car jump from the highway. From the paint job Gust recognized it to be Bumblebee.
He transformed from his vehicle mode and slammed one of them to the ground and punched the other clear across the face.
Arcee got up from the ground and went over to Gust.
"Gust! Are you okay?" She asked helping her up with her hand.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Gust said looking at her own knees, "Just a scratch Cee."
Bumblebee stomped on the Con and backed up.
"Hey Bee, look out for the-!" Gust said before getting cut off by a loud crunching noise. Which stopped Bumblebee in his tracks.
"Car." Gust finished.
Bumblebee looked and the small car that belonged to Rafael squashed like a pancake thanks to his heel. He turned over to Rafael and said through a series of beeps, "{Sorry about your car, I didn't mean to squish it}."
To Gust's surprise, the little boy replied him, "It's no problem, really."
"You can understand him?" Gust asked.
Before he could answer, Bumblebee was caught by surprise when he was hit in the chest by one of the Con's blasters. Bumblebee flew back and landed on his front; as he was about to get up, the Con stepped on his head, preventing him from moving. They both aimed at Bumblebee. Just as Gust was about to do something as was Arcee, they heard the boy named Rafael shout, "LEAVE HIM ALONE!"
Everyone, even the Con's turned to him; with the Con's armed in all.
Rafael seemed to shrink when the Con's turned to him, "Please?" He said nervously.
"Bad call." Jack pointed out.
One of the Cons started to move towards them, to which Jack and Rafael immediately ran. They ran into a large open sewer pipe and climbed in. The Con kneeled and attempted to grab them both as they both ran. Just as they were within reach, he was suddenly pulled back. It turned out it was Gust, with her eyes now as pure as snow; she was holding him by the foot and dragged him out of the way, throwing him towards the Con that had Bumblebee pinned.
Gust turned to them with her eyes changing back to the color of golden yellow and grey, "You guys alright?" She asked them with concern.
They both nodded, and Rafael said to her, "Thank you."
Gust winked at them, "Now get moving, my friends and I will take care of them!"
With that Gust left them there to escape. "Come on! Don't look back!" Jack said to Rafael.
"What did we just see?" Rafael asked Jack.
"No idea, but I'd rather not stick around and find out!" He replied. Thus they continued to run down through the tunnel. The fight continued between, the Con's, and Bumblebee and Gust. Because there were two of them, they had overmatched Bumblebee and had managed to grab Gust, trapping her arms so that she couldn't use them.
"LET ME GO YOU HUNK OF JUNK!" Gust shouted as tried to get herself out of their grip.
"GUST!" Arcee shouted.
The Con's aimed right at them, preparing to execute them, when two sets of headlights appeared from behind Arcee and Bumblebee. Turns out that it was Bulkhead, coming to back them up.
"Who's ready to rumble!?" Bulkhead shouted. Arcee charged at the Con; she attacked his arm making him drop Gust, luckily she caught her before she landed on the ground. Seeing as how the Cons were outnumbered now, they made a hasty retreat.
"What took you so long?" Arcee asked placing Gust on the ground.
"Traffic." Bulkhead had replied.
Arcee and Bumblebee gave him a look as if to ask, "What?"
Gust than said, as she got out a spare glove, "To be fair it is rush hour." Which earned her a look.
-Later at Autobot Base-
Arcee, and Gust had explained what had happened earlier that day when they returned to their base.
"... So then after we got off the highway wouldn't you know it, there was another witness." Gust said as she patched up her own wounds on both of her legs.
"The Con's would've been scrap metal if I wasn't distracted by the humans." Arcee finished.
"Humans?" Optimus asked.
{Yup, like Gust said, there were two of them.} Bumblebee said.
"Guess the second one caught us in action." Arcee said.
"Well we were kind of busy dealing with the Cons. As per usual." Gust said, "What do we do with the witnesses?"
Optimus had replied, "If the Decepticons are targeting us, anyone perceived as an ally will be at a grave risk."
They all gave a quizzical look to their leader. Gust broke the silence "He's not saying what I think he's saying… Is he?"
-The Next Day; Jasper Nevada Public School-
Jack couldn't believe what he had just witnessed yesterday. Giant robots were fighting against each other; not only that, but a girl was some kind of super girl! He still had a hard time believing what he had witnessed. He met up with Rafael when the school day ended.
"Hey Raf." He greeted, before saying, "Look, about what happened yesterday, let's just keep it between us, and forget everything that ever happened, okay?"
Just than they heard a car honk. They turned and saw that it was the same yellow car from yesterday.
"Oh no, not again." Jack couldn't help but say.
Bumblebee pulled up on the curb just where they were, and he opened the passenger's side. He sent out a series of beeps.
"It… Wants us to get in?" Jack said questioningly.
Rafael, Raf for short, shook his head, "No. Just me."
"How do you know that?"
"It said so. Your's is over there."
He turned and saw the blue bike from yesterday as well as the teenage girl, Gust. She waved over to him with a smirk.
Jack was of course concerned about this, and before he could say anything to anything to Raf, he had already got into the car and Bumblebee drove off before he could stop it. Jack only took a glance over them, before walking away.
"Huh, well that was rude." Gust said.
"Hop on." Arcee said.
Gust hopped onto the seat provided, and they drove off; not really noticing that they were being followed. Arcee managed to catch up with Jack; she drove right in front of him.
"Hey, relax guy." Gust said, "Arcee and I just want to talk to you."
"Don't you mean and your new friends?" Jack asked them
Gust got off of Arcee; though despite that, Arcee stood on her own in vehicle mode. "Kid, there's a lot you don't understand."
"No, no, I get it." Jack said to them, "The first rule of robot fight club, don't talk about robot fight club. What you guys don't understand is that I of your crazy bunch of talking vehicles following me around, trying to get me killed!"
Gust said with Jack stopping in his tracks, "First of all, nice reference. Secondly she's really serious, there is a whole lot you don't understand."
Arcee transformed from her vehicle mode, "Look, 'Jack' is it? Your personal safety is exactly why Optimus Prime has requested your presence."
"Optimus who?" Jack asked.
"We'll be sure to explain that later." Gust said, "But what she means is, that you and that kid, Rafael I think was his name, may be in danger. You and him are the only ones who have ever seen what my friends are, and what I am."
"No offense, but what are you supposed to be exactly?" Jack asked her.
Before Gust could reply, they suddenly heard a fourth voice come over them, "Dude! What are you waiting for?! Go with!"
It had turned out it was a classmate of Jack's; a girl from Japan by the name of Miko Nakadai.
"Scrap." Arcee and Gust said in unison.
-Later at the Base-
They all made their way back to where Arcee, Bumblebee and Gust call home, which was a canyon of some kind. They entered through doors that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and they drove inside through a tunnel and entered where all of the magic happened. The three newcomers were shocked to see more of the same giants that had stood before them and were in awe by them. Arcee and Bumblebee came to a halt, allowing the three newcomers and Gust (Who hitched a ride with Bumblebee) to exit before they transformed from their vehicle modes.
"I thought there were only two of them." Ratchet pointed out.
"Haven't you heard?" Arcee said, "Humans multiply."
"Hi." Raf greeted them, "My name is Raf."
"I'm Miko!" Miko said before going over to Bulkhead, "Who are you?"
"Bulkhead." He replied.
"Are you a car? I bet you're a truck. A MONSTER truck!" Miko said, "Do you like heavy metal? How much do you weigh? Ever use a wrecking ball for a punching bag?"
Gust chuckled and smiled up at Bulkhead, "Looks like you've got yourself a fan big guy."
Raf couldn't help but ask, "So if you guys are robots, who made you?"
Ratchet seemed to have scoffed at that, "Puh-lease!"
"Trust me, when I say, it's a bit more complicated than that." Gust said, "Maybe it's best if the bossman explains it."
Than they heard loud thumping noises, which caught, Jack, Miko and Raf by surprise. Optimus Prime had stepped into the room, to which the three newcomers were in even more awe.
Optimus began to explain the situation, "We are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the planet Cybertron, also known as Autobots."
"Why are you here?" Jack asked Optimus curiously.
"To protect your planet, from the Decepticons." Optimus replied.
Jack and Raf were confused by what he meant. Gust had clarified, "They're the yahoos that attacked us yesterday."
"Okay, why are they here exactly?" Jack asked again.
Optimus replied, "A fair question Jack. In part, they are here because of our planet is inhabitable, ravaged by centuries of civil war."
"Why were you fighting a war?" Raf asked.
Optimus had replied, "Foremost, over control of our world's supply of energon, the fuel and lifeblood of all Autobots and Decepticons alike. The combat was fierce and endured for centuries. In the beginning, I fought alongside one whom I once considered a brother. But in a war, ideals can be corrupted. And it was thus… that Megatron had lost his way."
Miko let out a yawn, seeing that she was bored from hearing this, "Is there gonna be a quiz?" She asked as she played with her hair.
"So… What does Megatron or any of this, have to do with us?" Jack asked.
Optimus had replied, "Megatron has not been seen nor heard from in some time. But if his return is imminent, as I fear, it could be catastrophic."
-Up on the Nemesis Ship-
Soundwave had entered the bridge to inform Starscream of what he had just uncovered. Starscream seemed to have a pretty good idea of what it was about. "Those transmissions are emitting from deep space. I would hate to waste the energon… Unless you are absolutely certain."
A human girl sat on Soundwave's shoulder. She had short black hair which was of a layered bob cut hairstyle, and one grey eye on the left while on the right she had brown. Dark purple veins glowed from her chest which connected to a blue crystal. She had on a short sleeved hoodie with a robotic arm on her left arm and on the right it was flesh with fingerless black biker gloves. Over the hoodie she had on a grey shirt and short brown pants and cropped leggings with a pair grey buckled survival boots.
"Soundwave is never wrong about the information he collects." She said to the commander, "You are aware of this aren't you Commander Starscream?"
Starscream sighed and said, "Very well Nightblade. Then lock onto transmission coordinates and activate the Space Bridge." One of the Cons did just that. Outside of where the Nemesis ship was the Space Bridge had activated, and but a single ship flew out of the bridge.
He had transformed from his vehicle and shouted through comms; everyone in the army had recognized by the sound of his voice.
"DECEPTICONS! I have returned."
